Palestinians fighters defending Khan Younis against Israel in ‘west, south and east’ of the city

Palestinian groups are putting up a “deliberate defence against Israeli offensive operations” in southern Khan Younis and are battling Israeli forces in the west, south and east of the city, war monitors report.

The US-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW) and the Critical Threats Project (CTP) reported that Israeli forces were also vulnerable in the north of Gaza where Hamas could re-establish itself.
